Monofunctional Maleimide Platin (IV) Prodrugs

A prodrug approach was adopted to minimize exposure of body tissues to free oxaliplatin. A variety of oxaliplatin prodrug derivatives were designed to release free oxaliplatin in a site-directed manner within tumour tissue. They were tested for efficacy in cellular and xenograft models. One class of derivatives exhibited remarkable effects on survival...

Mouse Model with Epidermis-Specific Double Knockout of Braf and Raf1 Alleles

The skin is the largest organ of the body, it protects it from damage and hosts immune system cells. To function effectively as a barrier, the skin continually regenerates producing new cells to replace the old. If the regeneration process fails the skin may produce tumors. In addition, disruption to the immune barrier can lead to autoimmune or allergic...

Silaffin silica particle adjuvant

Subunit vaccines consist of recombinant or synthetic antigens, such as peptides or protein fragments, which are carefully chosen from the mechanistic analysis of the disease progression. These vaccines offer considerable advantages over the traditional vaccines in terms of specificity, safety and cost of production. However, due to rapid degradation...

NKCC inhibitors for stroke

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability worldwide. 60 percent of those who suffer a stroke die or become dependent. The irrevocable harm caused by interrupting blood flow to the brain unfolds hours to days after the initial blockage, therefore, it is critical to identify early interventions that could reduce neuronal...

Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Parkinson's Disease

Using our screening strategy we identified a new class of small molecules that binds simultaneously to monomeric and to membrane-bound alpha-synuclein. Moreover these molecules have a high affinity to Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2/NGAL). Lcn2 is a potent neurotoxic factor secreted by reactive astrocytes. Pilot data for our compound in a chronic progressive model...

Mirror Image Microarrays

Microarrays are versatile and widely used tools for high-throughput screening methods. Conventional light-directed synthesis of microarrays is a relatively inefficient and expensive process that is wasteful of raw materials.Researchers at the University of Vienna, Faculty of Chemistry have improved existing synthesis methods by developing a unique flow...
